Hmm, I was thinking of a different Nobel Peace Prize winner, and I can’t think of another way to phrase the question that is fair (i.e. does not involve research) and means the answer will be non-obvious. How about “Have you won the Nobel Peace Prize since 1989?” My other answers were [Mike Gatting](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Gatting), [Murray Goodwin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Goodwin), [Michael Green](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Green_%28humorist%29), and [Michael Gove](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gove). My DQs: Did you first appear in a movie? Were you created by an American? Were you created after 1950? Have you ever died? ---
